We bought one of these for our daughter who seems to always be reading. She was asking us to take her to the bookstore for a new book every couple of days and we thought this would be a lot easier and cheaper. At first it seemed to be working fairly well. It had a few minor glitches and problems but would appear to be fixed after we would complete updates. After a week or so it would mess up again. The battery life on this unit was horrible as well and seemed to only get worse. It seemed like she was always having to let it charge. Them after a couple weeks of this going on it wouldn't even power up at all. We even tried to power it up while it was plugged in and that still didn't work. When I tried to call customer service I was told very quickly that my issues were not covered by the warranty. I tried to explain to the agent that I understood her warranty had possibly expired but I would still like to know how to go about getting it repaired so she could use it. After about 20 minutes of wasted time I decided to just give up. We then invested in a used Ipad (first generation) and have had great success.

I won this E-reader in a contest. I was hoping It was gonna be more like the more pricey models. It is great for an E-reader, but to play games on it is very slow. Battery Life I can read for about 3 to 4 hours on battery power. Book Choices/Variety the reader APP that comes on it is awesome! Readability very easy to read on. sometimes you do have to tap a little hard to turn page. Ease of Use The touch screen is too touchy at times. I can barely play Angry Bird's original game on it. I tried playing Season and it locked up every time. The problem is it runs a very outdated Android operation system. I was able to upgrade it some, but it did not help with speed. It also has a very tiny hard drive on it. It has an SD slot too. So i use a 4 gig SD card and have plenty of room for my books. It does not play videos on it unless you download a view from the app store it comes with installed. Android APP store does NOT recognize device, another bummer. Design very cute and small Durability it has fell on floor many times and still works great.

I bought this e=reader because of a color screen which was pretty cool and nice looking. I realized later that I have wasted my money. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Battery Life The battery life is two hours hardly. It takes a very long time to be charged to the full extent. Sometimes it takes forever to be charged. Book Choices/Variety The graphics are great and I like that it comes with some free books inside the device. There is no huge collection though. Readability There is no problem in readability. The screen is good quality one. Ease of Use The problem is that it is very heavy. It weighs down my bag a ton and isn't convenient to carry around on a daily basis. I'd say I could probably carry around two hard cover large novels in my bag and they'd still be lighter than this. Just because it's small doesn't make it portable and functional for every day use. Design I like the design. Durability It is durable but I did not use it much. I sold it and bought another one.

I got this as a gift and as it is right out of the box it is a little weak ,both in system and in how well it works, but with just a little work and some updates it can be used as an okay Android based tablet. The price on these are super cheap now so it's a good deal if you're okay with editing your system some and that does take some research and work to do so. With an update you can access the Android market and replace the basic reader app with something better, like Kindle app. It is a very heavy reader though and a little thick in design, not nearly as light as most of the current readers out there. The charge time and battery life is also a little weak, a few hours top. But this is my backup reader for when I just want something simple or when I'm letting my young nephews something to play with that I don't worry too much about them damaging. Book Choices/Variety Easy enough to load books, works great with sideloading too so you can read a wide range of formats. Readability Some mild glare on the screen.

I bought this off of amazon.com. I received it and returned it the same day. I turned it on, checked it out. I like the white color backing and the glass front. It's pretty much just an e-reader. I don't recommend it for apps. I immediately started installing apps, the first one I installed, the famous angry birds. I couldn't even play that! I was highly frustrated with this tablet. I figured it would be good for reading (which I LOVE to do) and apps/games. If you love to read, this is for you. It's quite nice actually. If you want something that does apps and reading, please don't get this. Unable to play angry birds and alot of apps. I called customer service, there is no update on the android market, so I believe it's got android 2.2 or 2.3. Can't quite remember. Book Choices/Variety Definitely a variety of books. Unfortunately the Kindle app would not download to mine. Design Love the design. Nice glass front and white backing. Durability Get a case and screen protector!

It wasn't easy to use at all. I don't like the app store. It has a low choice selection and doesn't have any of the fun apps everyone loves. The e reader part of it works great. That is the best part about the whole tablet. I use it all the time. The camera is decent but not the best. This doesn't compare at all to apple or android products.

The color and reader are good. I would prefer better Android accessibility and faster wifi. You get what you pay for with this cheap ereader. Battery Life Battery life is good compared to most others I've seen. Book Choices/Variety Great B&N selection! Readability Sometimes pages are hard to flip, but otherwise great screen lighting and color. Ease of Use Sometimes this is frustrating trying to download apps, games, etc. Design Wish this product had a better back up system. My four year old set my reader back to factory settings and lost all of my downloads and system updates. It was entirely too easy for him to get to and did not have any way to retrieve what was lost. Durability Durabliity is good. My kids use it to play games and read quite often and it has sustained their wear and tear well.

Absolutely hated it...hard to maneuver, hard to press the screen and get it to respond. Battery life was very, very poor. It was cheap, and now I understand why. Next ereader, I'll invest and get a nook or kindle. Even wifi was hard to connect, even when my wifi station was right next to me.

We were looking at this for a christmas present. When we asked the clerk to show us how it worked he could not get it to function right. Slow, blurry screen and we spent two hours and left without purchasing.
